A Review on Sheet Metal Forming Behavior in High-Strength Steels and the Use of Numerical Simulations

High-strength steels such as Dual Phase (DP), Transformation-Induced Plasticity (TRIP), and Twinning-Induced Plasticity (TWIP) steels have gained importance in automotive applications due to the potential for weight reduction and increased performance in crash tests. However, as resistance increases...

description High-strength steels such as Dual Phase (DP), Transformation-Induced Plasticity (TRIP), and Twinning-Induced Plasticity (TWIP) steels have gained importance in automotive applications due to the potential for weight reduction and increased performance in crash tests. However, as resistance increases, there is also an increase in springback due to residual stresses after the forming process. This is mainly because of the greater elastic region of these materials and other factors associated with strain hardening, such as the Bauschinger effect, that brings theory of kinematic hardening to mathematical modeling. This means that finite element software must consider these properties so that the simulation can accurately predict the behavior. Currently, this knowledge is still not widespread since it has never been used in conventional materials. Additionally, engineers and researchers use the Forming Limit Diagram (FLD) curve in their studies. However, it does not fully represent the actual failure limit of materials, especially in high-strength materials. Based on this, the Fracture Forming Limit Diagram (FFLD) curve has emerged, which proposes to resolve these limitations. Thus, this review aims to focus on how finite element methods consider all these factors in their modeling, especially when it comes to the responses of high-strength steels.
